Project 2

Module 2

For this project, my group members and I explored through various tools to finalize our approach to the final project. Including tests on cardboard prototyping, Touch Designer, and projector. We began with cardboard prototyping to quickly test scale, spatial relationships, and user positioning in relation to the projector, allowing us to visualize how people might interact with the installation.

Workshop 1 Geurilla Prototyping I

I first measured out the size of my phone. I also drew out the pieces I would need and the final product to make sure I would not forget anything. Then I drew down what I need to cut down on the cardboard.

All the pieces are being cut out.

This is how it looked like when the pieces are being put together.

I put my phone case on it to test it out. This side worked perfectly.

On this side, the stand only works when I put the phone horizontally. It would slide down if I put it vertically. I think I would have to add another side inside to keep it from sliding.

Workshop 2 Geurilla Prototyping II

I connected the first projector to test it out.

The colour tone looks a bit weird, therefor I tried to modify it. It did not went as what we wanted.

This is another projector we tried. I found that it can connect to my mouse if I plug the usb in it.

This projection colour is way better than the one before.

We did some experiment on modifying the perspectives of the projection.

Activity 1: My Resarch

Our group first built a prototype of cubes as our physical object.

We used the projector to made sure how far we wanted it to be away from the cube.

This is how it looks like close up.

This is how far the projector is away from the object.

Progress on modifying the projection angles in Touch Designer.

Activity 2: My Reearch

We made sure how the angle of the projection would be on the object.

Process of modifying designs on Touch Designer.

Other designs we played with.

How the design would look like when it is actually being projected.

Additional Research or Workshops

The process of modifying with the parameters on Touch Designer.

Other designs that we tested.

Playing around with other textures/videos.

Trying to make some special effects, but did not work that well.

This would be something that is close to what we are going to do for project 3.

Project 2

Project 2 Prototype

Despite the fact that we have not made our final design for project 3 yet. This is close to what we want to work with for project 3.
